"Nashden of Total Tech Solutions is the consummate professional. I selected him from Angis list or some other similar source (do not recall) to install a home theater system, both audio and visual... So, it was without a personal recommendation. As it turned out, I could not have been happier. He was on time, went right to work, and stayed on target until the project was finished. He was very patient, responded to all of our questions, and taught us how to use the equipment. He was extremely pleasant and a good listener. Highly recommended."

"Damon was terrific. He responded immediately, and came to the house within the week to install the conduit while he ordered the actual EV charge plug. He came back yesterday to finish the project, cleaned up after himself and all is great. Thank you Damon and Ajalon Electric. Will definitely use them again!!"

"Oh my goodness!! I would give these guys 10+ if I could. Their work was excellent. I called them to do the electrical wiring, etc that was required for a dishwasher installation where there had not been one before. Then I kept asking if they could do other things - like fixing four receptacles that didn't work, and to put a plug on a garbage disposal that just had straight wires on it, etc. They took care of every request with a smile. They even removed the cabinet for me, where the dishwasher was to go. Besides all that, they were so very considerate of our property. . .even asking before taking a paper towel from the roll. It's been a long time since we have hired someone to do work and were soo happy with all phases of their service. Their hourly rate was waay more reasonable than the most, and they were such fun guys. If you need an Electrician - L.WEBB Electric is the guy to call."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Carbon monoxide emissions aren’t only dangerous to human life, but they also harm our planet. While natural gas generators emit lower levels of CO than other fuel sources, there are still ways to reduce emission levels. For example, shop around for an eco-friendly generator that complies with current emission standards. Also, make sure your generator is serviced regularly to avoid CO buildup. 

Generators are safe to use as long as they are installed and operated correctly according to the manufacturer's recommendations. The most critical safety tips are to never use a portable or fuel-powered generator inside an enclosed space due to the risk of lethal carbon monoxide poisoning; always operate it outdoors where fumes can dissipate away from your home. Additionally, never attempt to connect a generator to your home’s electrical panel yourself—hire a professional to ensure the setup meets safety standards. Finally, avoid overloading the generator by not connecting more appliances than it is rated for, as this can damage your equipment or cause a fire.

Costs range from $500 to $2,500, depending on generator type and installation complexity.

It’s usually better to repair your generator if it isn’t working properly, as it will typically be much more affordable and should yield similar results. Generator repairs cost around $300 on average, while installing a new whole-house generator costs around $5,000 on average. The only exception is if you know your generator is reaching the end of its useful life, usually between 30 and 40 years. If you have an older generator, you could face multiple repairs in the coming years, which might mean that a full replacement will be more cost-effective over time.

With proper maintenance, a whole-house generator can last between 20 and 40 years. The specific lifespan depends on how often and for how long the generator is used, and some models may have their life expectancy rated in hours of operation. To maximize its lifespan, expect to spend around $150 to $300 per year for annual maintenance checks from a qualified technician. During these checks, a technician will inspect the engine filter, starting mechanism, fuel, lubrication, and coolant levels. Consulting your installer and choosing a low-impact fuel like natural gas or diesel can also help ensure your generator lasts as long as possible.
